This scenic spot is Dujiangyan in Chengdu. Speaking of Chengdu, everyone should be familiar with it. What is Chengdu? The first batch of national historical and cultural cities? And then what? China's Best Tourist City? With a long history and culture, there are many natural attractions. Dujiangyan is one of the most famous. Dujiangyan is a famous water conservancy project in China, which has great significance and value. It is also worthwhile to travel to Chengdu and visit Dujiangyan. Bian Xiao visited Dujiangyan while traveling in Chengdu some time ago and was deeply attracted by the beautiful natural scenery there.
It is understood that Dujiangyan was built in 256 BC and has a history of 2260 years. It is the only grand water conservancy project in the world with a long history and no dam to divert water. Dujiangyan is located on the Minjiang River in the west of Chengdu Plain. Dujiangyan project is mainly composed of fish mouth, flying sand weir and bottle mouth. It has been playing the role of flood control and irrigation for more than 2000 years. Today, the ancient Dujiangyan is still irrigating farmland for the benefit of the people, making the Chengdu Plain a "land of abundance" with thousands of miles of floods and droughts. Its unique history and beautiful scenery attract tourists from all over the world to visit here. Now it is one of the few 5A-level scenic spots in Sichuan.
Dujiangyan, as a national 5A-level scenic spot, enjoys very convenient transportation. It even built a high-speed railway station in Dujiangyan for the convenience of visiting friends. In addition, there is a direct bus to Dujiangyan after getting off the high-speed train. You can take a one-day tour of Dujiangyan by tourist bus in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. It is really convenient and fast, which is why Dujiangyan can attract so many tourists to visit.
As early as 2000, Dujiangyan was listed by UNESCO? World cultural heritage? The list is not only the world-famous ancient water conservancy projects in China, but also the beautiful scenery and numerous cultural relics nearby. However, it is such a double-reputation 5A-level scenic spot that appears? Unfair? The entrance ticket for Dujiangyan is 78 yuan, but Shanghai residents only need to pay 15 yuan to travel here, which means they can enjoy a 20% discount. Even the locals don't have such a discount. How can Shanghainese have it? If tourists who don't know the reason are definitely unhappy, isn't this obvious geographical discrimination? However, for such a ticket discount, the scenic spot is also marked in a conspicuous position to explain the reasons. After knowing the ins and outs, everyone was full of praise and said it was right. Why?
Bian Xiao learned that Dujiangyan was a counterpart city aided by Shanghai during the Wenchuan earthquake. In order to thank the people of Shanghai for their support, the local government introduced a preferential policy of 20% discount for Shanghai citizens to visit Dujiangyan. In addition, at that time, the whole country was carrying out earthquake relief, and Shanghai, as a municipality directly under the central government, donated the most to the disaster-stricken areas, so the local people thanked them and gave them special treatment.
Bian Xiao believes that Dujiangyan's practice is a warm-hearted move and a manifestation of Chinese traditional virtues. In fact, there is another scenic spot in Dujiangyan that does not need tickets, and that is the ancient city of guanxian. One day is enough. I don't know what you think of Dujiangyan. Unfair? What do you think of this practice? Welcome to comment!
